How we handle shower tray repair in Chestnut Hill
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused during fitting and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
